For my third week of training there was a bit of a snow storm, so I wasn’t able to go out as often as I would have liked, but I made up for my lack of running by making sure to exercise indoors by using the treadmills at CARSA, which I wasn’t confident enough to run on without fear of falling so I did go a bit backwards in my training. I am very fortunate that indoor treadmills are accessible to me, as I would have had to get quite creative without them, and I am not sure I am prepared for that. Because I was unable to run while on the treadmill, I focused more on building endurance and challenged myself to walk further than 5km. I was able to do 6km before I had to get off, and I felt very proud that I was able to stay moving for an extra kilometer, when previously I struggled with 5.
Since I am not super comfortable taking pictures of myself in public when I am alone, I only have one photo from before the snow and an old photo of me on a treadmill to attach, but combine them together and you will get a recent photo of me on a treadmill. (I have permission to share the photo with my friend in it)
Overall I think my third week went quite well, I was able to still train even though it was cold and icy outside, and I saw some improvement in my stamina and endurance which felt nice. In the future I would definitely prefer to stay outside for my training, but when I have no other choice, treadmills work great.
